You just said it! Stop now, you are damaging the PR stunt.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/532ecfe4eab8eaa1582aab95depressionSun, 23 Mar 2014 08:13:24 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/532ecfe4eab8eaa1582aab95
If she's making personal attacks that's innaporate as our ambasador.
Keep it professional.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/532e9451ecad04725c3ee023Russian UN Ambassador respond's to CNN's AmanpourSun, 23 Mar 2014 03:59:13 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/532e9451ecad04725c3ee023
Russian UN Ambassador respond's to CNN's Christine Amanpour -
Dear Ms. Amanpour,
I am taken aback by the personal attacks you resorted to in your show on March 20. I have known you for many years (including through a number of on-the-air interviews) and used to respect you professionally. So it was somewhat startling that my inability to give another interview provoked such an outburst.
As to my unwillingness, as you put it, to leave my "comfort zone” – you are absolutely right. After 8 meetings of the Security Council on the situation in Ukraine and Crimea (six of them in front of TV cameras) I feel very comfortable that the truth is beginning to come across.
If, though, you imply that I don’t want to answer tough questions, then you are mature enough to know that I spoke to the “full house” at the Washington National Cathedral in October, 1983, two weeks after the South Korean airliner was downed, and then testified at the US Congress in May of 1986 after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, not to mention hundreds of other media and “live” appearances. So I can explain to anyone what “leaving a comfort zone” means.
But I wouldn’t be writing to you if you did not also choose to personally attack my daughter – your younger colleague – a Russian TV journalist. I am very proud of her – not only is she a good journalist, but she strictly keeps her professional distance from me.
Incidentally, I recall you married the State Department Spokesman. How was your professional credibility in the course of your courtship?
Don’t bother to answer. I don’t really want to know.

Mr. Bremmer may be very incorrect.
USSR-1 already collapsed once in 1989 after it was completely hollowed out economically. I did not suffer a set-back it blew up into 250 million pieces.
USSR-2 is far weaker than #1 and has a much worse government. The value of energy relative to other goods will stay low and trend much lower in real terms. Europe is far less dependent on USSR-2 for any of the resources they are selling.
Busting Putinnia will require focus but is possible. After it is busted financially, if that is the policy, it is reduced in size to about the size of Poland and somewhat East of Belarus. Then we part the carcass out especially to China which has a good land and culture claim against Russia.
Murderous cut throats like Putin and Yakunin cannot run anything without murdering their own people. Educated Russians with marketable skills best CLEAR OUT as KGB travel restrictions are coming. There is lots of cabbage everywhere so do not worry and we need skilled trades, technicians, coaches, designers, etc.
Hate the USA? Move to Australia, New Zealand, Brazil or 160 other countries!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/532e33ba69beddc04df48aadAmiSat, 22 Mar 2014 21:07:06 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/532e33ba69beddc04df48aad
Bremmer's correct on this. It also supports his idea of the G-Zero. On a side note, I am still waiting to hear about Venice on the major media outlets in the US. Do a search - I did. Zero on the 87% favor voting for breaking away from Rome.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/532e22b269beddc918f48aabblutownSat, 22 Mar 2014 19:54:26 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/532e22b269beddc918f48aab
No shit. But in the United States of Delusion we've convinced ourselves that if we will it, it shall be so. The last 2 presidents may go down as the most misguided foreign policy con artists in history.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/532e1e626da811b63c66ef48depressionSat, 22 Mar 2014 19:36:02 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/532e1e626da811b63c66ef48
